Rubbish: I felt robbed as I read through the pages of this 'captivating' book. Most of the information provided in this book is very basic and superficial... it did not enrich my inexistent knowledge about mesoamerican history.

Interesting, concise history of four of the ancient cultures of Meso-American Mexico: Olmecs, Zapotecs, Maya and Aztecs. Although I've previously studied these cultures I learned new and interesting details.
